On a gentle W-facing slope overlooked by a medieval church (CL002-014002-), c. 300m to NW. Indicated as a rectangular enclosure by a dashed line and named ‘Killoghil graveyard’ on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and hachured as a rectangular enclosure with two parallel elements extending to the north and named ‘Killoghil Grave Yard (Disused)’ on the 1915 ed. Listed as ‘Graveyard’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A roughly square enclosure (Wth 30m) defined by a low bank (Wth 2.2–5m; H 0.2–0.8m) with no trace of gravemarkers. A trackway (CL002-059002-) extending N from the N side. Swan (1991, 114–15) recorded a church at this location, but there are no visible remnants and it seems likely he was referring to the one at Bishopsquarter (CL002-014002-). Ringforts are located c. 160m to the NW (CL002-015----), c. 250m to the ENE (CL002-061----) and c. 250m to the S (CL002-060----).
